Laura Mercier’s magic touch
April 10, 2005 | 12:00am
Artists paint on paper, canvas and wood to create timeless masterpieces. Makeup artists paint on faces to transform them into works of art. Laura Mercier can do both. Trained as a painter in her native France, her experience really shows in bringing out a woman’s natural beauty with just a few brushstrokes. Just look at Madonna, Susan Sarandon and Sarah Jessica Parker.
Laura Mercier’s philosophy focuses on having a flawless face. Because she could not find the products she wanted, she created her own line in 1996. Though it includes a full range of makeup and bath products, her line is best known for its foundations, concealers and tinted moisturizers.
One of the best-selling products from Laura Mercier is the Secret Concealer. Makeup artists around the world have this in their kit. Secret Concealer is a moisture-rich, emollient formula specially designed for dry, sensitive skin under the eye. This product can be your best friend if you wake up with discoloration and dark circles because they will be virtually undetectable.
If a terrible spot arrives at exactly the wrong time, don’t fight nature and put concealer all over it to achieve a flawless face. The best thing to use is Laura Mercier’s Secret Camouflage. This dual-toned cream concealer should be mixed together to make the exact shade needed to cover your blemishes and imperfections for that complete coverage.
When women are on the go, it can be a hassle to have two different kinds of concealers to hide spots and blemishes. This is why Laura Mercier recently launched Undercover – a combination of award-winning concealers such as Secret Camouflage and Secret Concealer in a mini-travel-size compact. Available in five different shades to accommodate all skin tones, Undercover is not only useful in the morning but also for touch ups throughout the day.
"Laura Mercier’s Undercover contains Secret Camouflage to hide imperfections, blemishes and discoloration. At the same time, it contains Secret Concealer to cover up dark circles under the eye," says Gemma Loo Chambers, international makeup artist for Laura Mercier. Both concealers create a soft focus appearance causing fine lines and imperfections to smooth over. So, a woman can still look flawless when she is feeling not so perfect.
Laura Mercier hires exclusive makeup artists to teach customers the right application. Concealers should be applied after putting on foundation. Chambers recommends using the Secret Camouflage brush since it is small and will help in proper application for a blemish-free face.
"Apply Secret Camouflage with feather-like strokes on blemishes, scars and discolorations. Then, use the creamy Secret Concealer to brighten and minimize darkness and shadows around the eye area," says Chambers. In order not to see the makeup, use the finger and press it on the skin.
Undercover feels remarkably light on the skin. To make it last longer, set it with a translucent powder since it is designed to set foundation without adding color. It also makes sure that the foundation shade doesn’t change. The problem is that most translucent powders leave deeper skin tones looking ashy and pale.
Laura Mercier’s best-selling Loose Translucent Powder has a nice light texture. "It is formulated with French cashmere talc, so the powder appears natural and not cakey, says Chambers. It glides on smoothly with a sheer application so the skin stays semi-matte for four to five hours without a touch-up. Plus, when you tap it on the places where you have used Undercover, the concealer lasts twice as long as it did before. Laura Mercier’s Loose Translucent Powder comes in a mini-size container, which is just the right size for the handbag.
Women should be creative when dealing with makeup since it does not have any rules but only options. Laura Mercier’s magic touch will definitely make one’s face flawless.
Chambers concludes, "I love Laura Mercier’s products because of the results on the skin, which looks natural and beautiful. You don’t even see the makeup."
Laura Mercier’s Undercover and Mini Loose Translucent Powder are exclusively available at Rustan’s Essenses.
